NCAC Now Offers a Wilderness First Aid Certification Course

January 11, 2019

GET WILDERNESS FIRST AID CERTIFIED!

Presented by the NCAC Camps, the Outdoor Preparedness Initiative (OPI) offers Wilderness First Aid certification with CPR/AED. OPI aims to prepare Scouts, Scouters, and outdoor enthusiasts for high adventure activities and other outdoor adventures. Certification is provided through the American Red Cross. Courses are offered at Camp Snyder in Haymarket, VA in the Fall, Winter, and Spring. During the summer, OPI moves to Goshen Scout Reservation in Goshen, VA to offer courses to adult leaders attending one of the six Goshen camps. For information on the OPI courses offered at Goshen Scout Reservation, please visit the Goshen website at www.gotogoshen.org.

When attending national and local high adventure bases, at least one member of the crew needs to be certified in Wilderness First Aid. Please check out the information for the high adventure base you are attending to learn more about their specific requirements.
